Could the same be said of not hating Jake = hating Brooks? To draw any inference on a person's feeling about one player based on his thoughts on another is unwise. If I say that Jake is a better QB than Brooks, which is an opinion (that just happens to be true), does that mean I don't like Brooks? Have I said Brooks is a bad QB? Have I blamed him for the team's woes? Why is it that if I were to say that LT is a better back than Deuce nobody would bat an eyelash, but if I say Delhomme is a better QB than Brooks I'm an agenda-wongering pessimist who simply hates AB? And don't even pretend like you haven't said exactly that. :) |
Well well well...here's comes the cavalry! I can already smell the horse shi!.

By the way Whodi, it was nice of Whodat to do what he could to divert the "conversation"...you remember...the one where you were tellling me (or trying to) that you post stuff about Louisiana players ALL the time...oh sure you do. :roll: I'm still waiting...maybe Whodat will help you look. He used to do that for some of his other deciples, so don't go thinking your special. ;) |

HEre's my Saban thread: http://www.blackandgold.net/site/ind...ght=nick+saban Again LOUISIANA STATE UNIVERSITY. Didn't know you would try to pick at something so small, but let me explain. If player A goes to LSU, played A is a hometown guy to me. If player B is from Louisiana but does not go to LSU, player B is still a hometown guy to me. Any clearer? But ya know what? This is getting us nowhere. I didn't know saying something good about a local guy could cause so many people to be offended. I guess Brooks has more crushes than just Billy. Out of respect for Halo, that's my last reply on this junk. Brooks lovers know how to turn a good thing into drama. :roll: |

Fine ONE thread that YOU started with the purpose of giving props to ANY player for either winning an officialy sponsored "NFL Event" or for playing in the Superbowl. You might have a chance so long as we don't restrict you to Louisiana born players. Oh, by the way, back home well call this Crawfishin'...or in your case, crawfishin' with gasoline draws. ;) |

I don't particularly want to further inflame the situation but.....
It's pretty obvious to me that both of you ( well 3 if you count whodat) have very strong feelings about the issue. The reality is that for more objective Saints fans (not from Louisiana, incidentally) Delhomme is someone who blossomed when thrown into a second half rally that defied the odds. He just took that momentum and kept going. In many ways, he set the standard right out of the gates, the team seemed to respond and rally around some off-field crisis' and snowball it into a memorable season. Last year the team was genuinely hurt by significant injuries and somehow they managed a late season surge. Character. However, as we all know, when crunch time came, when it was all on the line, the playoffs beckoning with a win at HOME, the panthers were dominated. The scoreline would suggest that it was a squeaker, but it wasn't. Following the personal foul call on the Saints in the first half, the Saints just decided they were going to win ( count AB among those) and they did. My lingering impression of Delhomme from that day is one of a gutsy leader who was outmatched. Truth be told he tried to do too much and threw some bad balls. This was the same team that had rallied through the second half of the season and was on the brink of success vs. the team that had been ridiculed by its owner. The saints won fair and square. And Brooks was obviously the more composed and clinical QB on the day. My gut feeling is that Delhomme is like a much less talented Favre, while AB is like a much less likeable Randall Cunningham. When AB is ON he will throw the 60 yard rainbow or scramble for the heart in the mouth 3rd and 10. They both have greatness in them, but neither can do it all alone. For that matter NO QB can do it alone. Try to reconcile your differences boys 'cause this is gonna be a good year for the Black and Gold. Honest. It will be. |
johnnythesaint,
Well put. I appreciate your level headed reply. And to all on this thread, let's stop the finger pointing and repeated arguments. Go to the everything else board to fight. If you're going to reply please say something with substance. If it can't work I'll lock it but I don't want to and you guys know that. |

For the record, and you can look it up, I have nothing against Jake, not now and not ever. I simply recognize where all the Jake love comes from...at least most of it, and the reason you and a very select few others start threads like this one, and you apprear to be guilty as charged. Go check my post just after the 2004 Superbowl and quote me. After you've done that, THEN come back here and type "Brooks Lover" and "Jake Hater" and all that other crap followed by my name...IF you can. Know your facts before you start in with me k? In fact, how about I post it for you and save you the work. You've been searching in vain most of the day I'm sure for those "ghost" posts of yours...here's mine: Quote:
